For Decades, ever since it first even came to HOME VIDEO via VHS, PARAMOUNT has refused to use the ORIGINAL Poster Art with Aquanetta for it’s HOME VIDEO packaging….and, I wonder WHY. While we’re trying to keep “A-BREAST” of this issue, this film is beyond classic–it is shockingly awesome. And, even today, STILL Scarier than the 1977 remake. Thanks Rarelust.

Kathleen Burke was ‘The Panther Woman’ in this version. Aquanetta was in 40’s ‘Ape Woman’ flix. Severin put out an awesome 3-disc Blu-Ray CE documentary of Richard Stanley’s even later attempt at re-doing this. BTW: I read in ‘Screem’ magazine that the Twilight Time (or Olive, can’t remember) LE Blu-Ray of the ’77 version had an alternate scene of The Panther Woman (Barbara Carrera) and Michael York at the end as an extra.
